Things are back to normal. I've been seeing friends all around school, sitting in the same classes, taking guitar lessons, playing soccer in the evenings, and trying to clean up my room. Dekker, P'Yui, Charley, and P'Mo took me to dinner with their friends last Thursday, a last meal in Thailand type thing. Yui's younger brother Tum is now working at the new airport so he came to dinner too. He's staying right near P'Momo and I, so we're going be playing soccer together in the evenings and going out to eat sometimes. After dinner we went back to Dekker and Yui's hotel room and stayed the night.

Today I'll have class at two o'clock. Tonight there's a staff meeting after class I too; about Loi Krathong day. My eleven o'clock class was the math course that I used to have. Good news and bad news on that one. Even though I didn't get to take the exam, I heard that the teacher boosted all low grades to 40%. Bad news is I still should drop it: 40% isn't very good for a major test. So... November 14- December 17 is my withdrawal period. Then I get to pre-register on the 21st of November! (shouts to express feeling of excitement) That means I'll have to pay in early December. Which means I'll need the credit card I never got in the US. Bank of America (not the Port Townsend branch) is lacking on their customer support.

I need to pick a topic for my persuasive speech tonight. A good one. Controversial. In the next few days I need to do a reference run to the library. Friday afternoon I need to announce my topic and cited works. Then I'll have one more week to write the speech, and memorize it.

Grades are slowly trickling out. B's in both exams that came out. Computer Science and Public Speaking. Again, no help to the GPA. This means even with 100% on the final exam (impossible) I would still have a B+

I need to buy a print cartridge. At $30 a cartridge I may just buy a new printer that takes the refillable type cartridges.
